Ohk, so would I say it a coincides or just the normal calendar, that today 14th of February 2018, is

  1. Ash Wednesday
  2. Valentine
  3. Champions league

Well a lot of funny comments has been going round on WhatsApp and most social media, on how this day would be spent.
Ash Wednesday, is still about love of God for mankind.
Well for someone like me, I would love to go with the person I love to a beautiful and sweet place with my love telling me how much he loves me.
Well that in my head actually. Lolss. You know am allowed to have fantasies right? But I hope one day they come to reality.

OK that is by the way, the love shouldn't be with your parther alone but to the needy and less privileged around you. Show love to the orphanage, the helpless let them have a feeling of being loved.

So, with respect to the funny comments about this day, @onos just pop out of nowhere and mentioned champion league. OK I knew quite well, there would be a match today but whatever it is called I certainly have no idea.

The Champions League

The UEFA Champions League is an annual continental club football competition organised by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and contested by top-division European clubs . It is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world and the most prestigious club competition in European football, played by the national league champions the strongest UEFA national associations.

The Origin

It was introduced in 1992, the competition replaced the European Champion Clubs' Cup, or simply European Cup, which had run since 1955, adding a group stage to the competition and allowing multiple entrants from certain countries. The pre-1992 competition was initially a straight knockout tournament open only to the champion club of each country. During the 1990s, the format was expanded, incorporating a round-robin group stage to include clubs that finished runner-up of some nations' top-level league. While most of Europe's national leagues can still only enter their national league champion, Europe's strongest national leagues now provide up to four teams for the competition, and will provide up to five teams from the 2015–2016 season onwards. Clubs that finish next-in-line in each nation's top level league, having not qualified for the UEFA Champions League competition, may be eligible for the next-level

In its present format, the UEFA Champions League begins in mid-July with three knockout qualifying rounds and a play-off round. The 10 surviving teams enter the group stage, joining 22 other teams qualified in advance. The 32 teams are drawn into eight groups of four teams and play each other in a double round-robin system. The eight group winners and eight runners-up proceed to the knockout phase that culminates with the final match in May. The winner of the UEFA Champions League qualifies for the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.

Most successful

Real Madrid is the most successful club in the competition's history, having won the tournament 12 times, including its first five seasons. Spanish clubs have accumulated the highest number of victories (17 wins), followed by England and Italy (12 wins apiece). England has the largest number of different winning teams, with a total of 5 clubs having won the title. The competition has been won by 22 different clubs, 12 of which have won it more than once. The reigning champions are Real Madrid , who secured their twelfth title in the competition after defeating Juventus 4–1 in the 2017 final .
